All hail the Interweb! (tee-hee!) With its worldwide reach, the Internet gives us voiceover experts the chance to branch off and interact on a level never seen before in history. It's incredible to think that just 20 years back, no one even understood what the Internet was or what it would mean to society. And now look at us. What would we do without it? Well, among the important things we voice talents wouldn't be able to do is promote ourselves internationally.

Every day, or weekly, or every month, make sure you get in touch with brand name new customers and introduce yourself to them and offer your services. Whether by telephone, email, personally, or by recommendation, constantly reach out to NEW customers.

If this was an ideal world (it's not, by the way), what would you want your voice to sound like? I don't know about you, but I 'd like it to sound like the actor James Earl Jones's voice - you understand, the one who played the lion in the motion picture "The Lion King", did Darth Vador's voice in the Star Wars motion pictures, and who has done many commentaries for TV commercials around the world.

So what makes a good quality voiceover? Plainly there is some subjectivity to the matter, but in basic the voice ought to be clear, up-front, simple to understand, have level volume (you can hear the loud parts and the pulps without discomfort or straining, respectively), and is as noise-free as possible. Let's start at the beginning of the recording session.

Some videos are rather made complex. You need to watch these videos gradually and keep in mind of the parts that require audio to describe the visuals involved.

You may desire to specialize. For CITY folks, you can find an animation class or a promos class. Nation folk will need to do a bit of self-teaching here. Read Terri Apple's Making Money in voice overs.

COUNTRY folk, your greatest obstacle now is to get customers. Concentrate on getting your website seen (pay-per-click with Google and Yahoo) and sending your link to all the local business in your town. They'll more than happy to know they do not have to go far to get an expert voice over for their business or in-house narrative.

The learning curve isn't as steep anymore when you have actually had a certain amount of experience. Now you simply need to make certain your demo is "acting your age". You do not need to waste your money re-doing your demonstration every year. You can revitalize your existing demonstration every 2 years approximately (basic editing - including new little bits of work you have actually done, and taking out a few of the older stuff that dates your demo). And after that, re-record and make a brand-new demo every 4 years approximately. Too typically I have actually heard people sound actually young on their demonstration, and then when you get them in studio, they sound nothing like they do on their demo.
